THE SNUG Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE SNUG sales from August 2011 and February 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2011 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the February 2020 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might THE SNUG be worth now?

THE SNUG might now be worth an estimated £439,341.

This is based on house price inflation of 23.8%, between February 2020 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Torbay local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 23.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE SNUG of £355,000 on 4th February 2020. For the value to have increased from £355,000 to £439,341 over the three years and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of THE SNUG has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Torbay local authority area.
• The February 2020 sale price of £355,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of THE SNUG has not materially changed since February 2020.
